Thank you 😁
They were both in private company car parks so I could probably have complained to the staff but I doubt they would do anything. They don't police the disabled and parent and child parking either.
Yes, exactly, same entitled people 😡
Thank you 😊

Happy Sunday! I've had a busy morning. Another survey cashout on the PAD. I booked 2 hrs of free electricity today so have got the kids bedding done using the WM and TD. They've both had showers, the car is on charge, all devices are on charge, we've hoovered through the whole house. I think we've made a good effort! I also won 800 points on the free spins this morning, so I was quite pleased with that.
Little miss did parkrun this morning, and I had booked my flu jab so we could just walk over and get that done after, so that was handy. We were in and out before my booked time!
I've made SW quiche this morning, and also some stuffed aubergine for my lunches this week. I haven't liked aubergine when I've had it before, and suspect that will still be the case, but they were in my F&V box, so I didn't want to waste them.

I'm not over keen on aubergine either @jwil but really enjoy it when it's made into baba ganoush - even better now that we can use tahini as a Healthy Fat rather than having to use valuable Swips on it! Great with lots of chopped veg as part of a picky plate lunch.

I've never tried baba ganoush, it sounds like it might be ok. One to remember if I'm stuck with one in the future. I'm glad they introduced the healthy fats, it makes life easier!

Couldn't agree more. I often have avocado and great that it's now included as a healthy fat rather than Swips!
